What was your very 1st bike.

like this bro,

[Dai.]

My first every ride on a bike was dad's 1985 GPZ 750[Yes original colours from Japan anyways and my 2nd bike...YZF 1000 Thunderace].Had all these at 22yrs old.


My first bike [1991 ZZR 250]


My 3rd bike [2005 YZF R1 & Semi carbon fibre]


Last but certainly not least the BEST bike i've ever owned and i'll be upgrading to Busa's for good.

Wot?

My first Bike? I can remember my first woman more clearly; 'As you do"; but no-one on this site would have heard of the bike (or her hopefully)

A 2nd hand 15 pound ($30) 1952 BSA Bantam 125cc;

OK, a hundred years on it's been recently 1100XX, R1 Trackie, CBR1000RR and now a Gen2 Bus as a retirement machine.

Your first bike is brain locked for nostalgic reasons only.
My elderly mates, some former A graders, now old farts like me, love the old bikes.

British oil leaking heaps of shyte the lot of them.
Even the early Ducati's (albeit a huge leap forward) with no lights splitting mudguards and timing side main bearings flogging out before 5K.

Give me modern technology every time.

Cheers and be happy,

dad

G'day Rev,
Mate you nailed it; except mine was a darkish red. Bought it from the hard earnt for 15 quid. Bantam's 125cc, Bantam Majors 150cc and Bantam Supers 175cc they all just kept going.
........... then there was the Walsh Bantam

Cheers
